Today was the Superbowl, it was honestly pretty forgettable. The Chiefs beat the 49ners 31-20. I am happy for Mahomes though, that dude can play and deserved this. One thing that was not forgettable was the halftime show. Shakira and J-Lo killed it, but specifically Shakira did this weird tongue thing into the camera during it and it was so funny. I audibly laugh every time I re-watch it. I am going to try and find it so I can attach at the end of the post so I never forget.
I had a bunch of thoughts tonight on my way home that I wanted to write down on here but now that I am here they're all gone. One thing that I have been thinking about a lot lately is my dad. He is going back to get his high school diploma. Which I think is amazing, I am super proud of him. However I do worry about him. Obviously he's doing it because he wants a change in career. He really wants to be a game warden, it's something he has always wanted to do. But he's 47 and becoming a game warden is basically like becoming a police officer. He needs to pass a bunch of physical tests and study a lot to pass the written & oral board. And then go through the academy. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubts that he can do it. My concern is that he is going to get discouraged by all the steps he has to do. He keeps making negative comments in passing about his skills or abilities and I keep telling him to stop being so negative. These things take time and dedication. You have to work for them. He has been applying to jobs with the department of fish and wildlife, not warden but mechanic positions that fit perfectly with what he has been doing for the last 20+ years. It would be awesome for him to just get his foot in that door. I'm really rooting for him. I will update the blog with his progress.
Saturday my dad and I went to Home Depot after I got off work to buy materials to build the cabinets for my kitchen in the van. We didn't really have a plan but just an idea of what would be needed. We ended up buying some 1x2s and 1x3s for the frame and some 1/4in plywood for the sides and doors. I have pictures I will post. Sunday I started building while my dad was doing homework, but he came and helped when he could. He also answered my many questions/ bounced ideas back and forth. I was halted because I did not have long enough nails for the nail gun so I couldn't put all the pieces together. But I do have all the pieces cut and ready to go once I get the nails. Next weekend for sure. I am planning on putting a live edge counter top in. My dads cousin has a mill and builds cabinets for a living so I am hoping to connect with him to get some counter tops cut.
That's all I got for this week. I mostly worked and there's not much to say about that. However this next week I will be upping my workouts to get into marathon shape by June.
